New Guy - South of Boston
Hi Everybody,
I'm here! I know, I know, don't everybody get too excited... These introductions are a dime a dozen, but I wanted to put myself out there and say hello.
My name is Steven Tierney. I'm a 30 something guy who has good DIY skills, I work full time as a Landscape Architecture Project Manager at a firm in Boston, MA and (like everybody else) I'm interested in real estate investing.
Other than purchasing a 125 year old Victorian as my primary residence and rehabbing it for 5 years, I have no actual real estate investing experience. Did I learn a lot rehabbing an old house? Yes. Did my wife and I sell that house to move on to bigger and better things back in July of last year? Yes.
While my wife, daughter and I temporarily live in a small apartment, we're searching for a new primary residence, and at the same time I'm stalking the internet for deals, and "Driving for Dollars" for investment properties.
I think because of my experience professionally as a Project Manager, and my passion for DIY projects and woodworking, I believe I'm well suited for being a Rehabber. That being said, like 1000s of other people on here, I'm here to learn first and foremost. I also look forward to meeting those of you that are nearby at one of the many local meetups, and I'll continue to lurk around the forums here.
Have a great day!
